RDY.xyz is the online home of the RDY app, a mobile app that helps users order ahead at local, independent coffee shops so they can skip the line and have a fresh coffee waiting for them. RDY uses location services and an innovative order queue to time your drink to your arrival. The location-based ordering option alerts the coffee shop when you are within one mile away, so they can start making your order and serve your coffee at the proper temperature. Many larger coffee chains and franchised cafes have designated apps that serve a similar purpose, but RDY is focused on the independent coffee shops and those that love small-batch coffee found more commonly at local, independent cafes. Coffee drinkers can benefit from using RDY.xyz by simply downloading the app, browsing the connected local cafes, and placing an order for pickup on the go. You can even subscribe to the mailing list to receive updates on the latest deals, new locations and new cities added to the app. Cafe and coffee shop owners can benefit from RDY.xyz by joining the network of cafes throughout the United States and gaining increased opportunities to reach new customers. RDY.xyz features an FAQ page to help coffee shops learn more about joining the network and the many advantages of doing so. These include the ability to offer promotions to grow your customer base, and the opportunity to earn more money by providing customers with a new way to make purchases from your shop. The app is free to use and can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.

Coffee shops across the country are promoting their usage of the RDY app through co-branded social media posts. Houston’s Bean & Bottle coffee and wine shop state that they love RDY app, and even share a money-saving promo code to use with the app. San Jose-based Chromatic Coffee shares a photo of the signage outside their shop encouraging online ordering through RDY.xyz. The sign includes a large QR code to help virtual and IRL passersby find the app to download to their phones.
RDY.xyz uses the branded email address [email protected] to correspond with visitors and interested coffee shop owners, which helps to generate trust. When you have an email address directly associated with your domain name, customers can use that email address to find your website and have confidence that they’re reaching out to the appropriate contact. Showcasing your app on a platform that you control can help you reach potential users across the globe. Your app’s landing page can serve as a central hub to route users of various phone platforms to the appropriate app store for them to use. If you build your website on a short and memorable domain, it can become easy to share through social media, email, and word of mouth. You can learn more by following the app on Instagram and LinkedIn, and by visiting RDY.xyz.
Joyn.xyz – Namecheap customer – (Canada)
Innovative web3 platforms are building their online homes on .xyz domains. NFT studio Mojito.xyz designs and operates Ethereum-compatible NFT marketplaces, games, and communities. DAO-governed Universe.xyz helps artists mint NFTs and launch community-driven NFT universes. In this week’s #WebsiteWednesday, we’ll introduce you to a collaborative platform providing co-creation solutions for web3 communities: Joyn.xyz.
Joyn.xyz is the online home of Joyn, a collaborative platform aimed at supporting the large-scale co-creation of web3 media. The Toronto-based company’s aim is to provide creators with access to the tools and community support they need to successfully launch their projects. Joyn.xyz is designed to help creators develop teams for project building, and to encourage the community to promote the project, participate, and share in the ownership. The platform also provides solutions for minting, marketing, and project-backing. In April 2022, Joyn.xyz raised $3.5 million in its seed round to help advance the platform and fund community development. Participating investors include Tokyo-based IT company Akatsuki and Singapore-based VC firm Signum Capital.1
As detailed in a post on their Blog page, Joyn.xyz is inspired by the combined efforts involved in the many high-profile media projects that have been populating web3. In these projects, designers and artists work on the visuals, composers work on music and sound design, developers take care of the blockchain-based technology, and supporters offer insights and resources that help the projects evolve. Joyn.xyz recognizes that creators can feel limited by insufficient resources or collaborators which can help see a project through from start to finish. These limitations can delay creators from entering the web3 space. Joyn.xyz hopes to remove these barriers by allowing creators, collaborators, intellectual property holders, supporters, and patrons to connect with each other to help turn ideas into successful web3 media projects. Creators who collaborate on a project will share ownership, royalties, and clout. Supporters of these projects will be able to follow their creative journey and learn about their processes and innovations every step of the way.
Originally operating under the name Chestr Labs, the company rebranded and upgraded their domain from Chestr.io to the more memorable and friendly Joyn.xyz.

BassemYoussef.xyz – GoDaddy customer – (United States)
The .xyz community consists of many accomplished individuals using .xyz to showcase and promote their work, passions, and career experiences. Australia-based artist Serwah Attafuah uses Serwah.xyz to showcase her digital art and NFT creations. Successful entrepreneur Matt Gray uses MattGray.xyz to promote his assortment of coaching and training services. Tech entrepreneur Ryan Junee uses Ryan.xyz to share his passions in tech startups, writing, and spirituality. In this week’s #WebsiteWednesday, we’ll introduce you to an accomplished political satirist who showcases his assortment of media appearances, upcoming shows, press clippings, and more on a personal website using a “FirstNameLastName.xyz” domain: BassemYoussef.xyz.
BassemYoussef.xyz is the personal website of self-described “Doctor/Political Satirist/Vegan” Bassem Youssef. Fans of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert may be familiar with Los Angeles-based Bassem, an occasional guest who shared his views on various U.S. affairs. In his home country of Egypt, Bassem was the host of his own satirical program, Al-Bernameg (where he acquired recognition as the ‘Jon Stewart of the Arab World’). Before Bassem found success on television, he majored in cardiothoracic surgery, passed the United States Medical License Exam (USMLE), and joined the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS). He practiced cardiothoracic surgery in Egypt for 13 years before pivoting into comedy and political satire.
In 2011, Bassem created Al-Bernameg (which translates to “The Show”) as a 5-minute program on YouTube. Bassem’s Al-Bernameg later became the first online-to-TV conversion in the Middle East. On Al-Bernameg, Bassem was known for criticism and humor aimed at his country’s government. The Egyptian government issued an arrest warrant for Bassem in March 2013 for some of his comments. He turned himself in and was released on bail. In June 2014, following a six-week break in programming, the Al-Bernameg team held a press conference where Bassem announced the end of the show. On September 17, 2022, Bassem joined playwright and actor Kristina Wong at the Arizona State University California Center in downtown Los Angeles for “What Can We Laugh About?,” a panel discussion about the healing power of comedy moderated by Los Angeles Times columnist Gustavo Arellano. Bassem spoke of his experience being jailed in Egypt after his political satire show Al-Bernameg featured humor aimed at the leaders of the country. Bassem maintains a stance of allowing comedians free rein, and for comedians to take chances and face the consequences later.1
Bassem’s career has been busy since creating Al-Bernameg. Between stand-up comedy performances, NPR interviews, book writing, and being the subject of a documentary film titled “Tickling Giants,”2 Bassem has many highlights to share with the world. On his website he displays these notable career highlights in an easy-to-navigate manner for visitors to explore. The homepage of BassemYoussef.xyz has a portrait of Bassem underneath multiple topics to choose from. For instance, you can learn more about his Upcoming Shows, such as his performance on November 3, 2022 at American Comedy Company in San Diego. You can view his different Media Appearance selections, including both Arabic and English interviews from news programs CBS This Morning, 60 Minutes, The Late Show, and more. You can visit his Press page to find links to his interview on the NPR program Fresh Air Weekend or his feature in news website Philadelphia Weekly. Bassem also has a Contact page, where he shares phone numbers to reach his management office, an email address for business inquiries, and all of his social media handles. This is a great resource that makes it simple for potential collaborators or fans to reach out and make contact. You can learn more about the benefits of Contact pages in our latest Quarterly Report.
